Colt U.S. Government Model 1911 A1 Semi-Automatic Pistol, .45 ACP
Sold for: $850
Description
A Colt U.S. Government Model 1911 A1 semi-automatic pistol, chambered in .45 ACP. The pistol features a blued steel finish, a black textured polymer grip, and an adjustable “BO-MAR” rear sight. Markings include “UNITED STATES PROPERTY” and “7790314” on the left side of the slide, “COLT’S PT. F.A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD, CONN. U.S.A.” on the right side of the slide, “Nº 432435” on the frame, and “COLT 45 AUTO” on the barrel. The pistol is accompanied by one magazine, a “DOSKOCIL” hard case, and a collection of loose internal components, including a hammer and sear, contained in plastic bags. Detailed handwritten notes document extensive custom work and modifications performed on the pistol, such as a new stainless steel hammer, sear re-cutting, trigger bar stoning, and adjustments to the grip safety, indicating a highly tuned firearm.
Condition report:
The pistol appears in good, used condition with expected finish wear and minor scratches consistent with use. The blued finish shows areas of thinning and holster wear, particularly on high edges and contact points. The polymer grip is intact with minor handling marks. The bore was not inspected. All mechanical actions appear to function as intended, though the custom modifications suggest a departure from original factory specifications.
